Physician executive Shamar Young discusses his article, "Geographic disparities in advanced cancer care: a call for innovation," highlighting the uneven access to emerging cancer treatments across different health care systems. Shamar explores the impact of geography on advanced therapies like theragnostics and transarterial radioembolization (TARE), emphasizing how disparities in expertise, technology, and resources limit patient options. He discusses how specialized third-party services, such as TeleDaaS, can bridge these gaps by centralizing expertise and improving care accessibility. The conversation examines potential solutions for ensuring that all patients receive optimal cancer treatment, regardless of their location. Listeners will gain insights into how innovation in care delivery can reduce health disparities and improve patient outcomes.
